Republicans across the country are pushing bills to stop government 'weather modification' “If it doesn't exist,” said Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., a co-sponsor of federal legislation targeting geoengineering, “then you don't have anything to worry about.”

NEW: Republicans in nearly 20 states + Congress are writing bills to ban “weather modification.”

“It’s not a conspiracy theory,” PA Sen. Camera Bartolotta said. “All you have to do is look up.”

Dems see it as “absolutely” the GOP’s latest response to climate change

Listening to the QAA ep on labubus and these toys are the new beanie babies or troll dolls in the 90s. Like all aspects are reminding me of that craze so it’s kinda funny to hear ppl act confused over the popularity lol. Too bad they’ll be rotting in a landfill in a few years

Text: "Trump even “baited” the democrats into wanting to expose the financial records of the big banks that helped Epstein’s child trafficking blackmail scheme. “Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, the top Democrat on the powerful Senate Finance Committee, has been digging into Mr. Epstein’s" Includes an image of a Q post about James Comey

Richard Grenell, Trump’s envoy for special missions, earlier today retweeted a post that includes an image of a Q post in it.

The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steel Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It’s all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Donald Trump writes on Truth Social that the “Jeffrey Epstein hoax” is a scam.

Whenever @travisview.bsky.social, @jakerockatansky.bsky.social and Julian Feeld discuss #Epstein on the QAA podcast, it's a must-listen event. There's was the dive into 47s latest bit of nonsense on the case I was most looking forward to, and they did not disappoint.

It’s notable that significant research was conducted over the last 5+ years on how to structure technology affordances to help people make sense of information and improve their literacy, much of it funded by tech companies, who’ve now gone out of their way to throw it out and do the exact opposite

Keep fighting the good fight, e.g. pointing out the shady bullshit that anon accounts do.

The judge finds that the evidence shows that DHS officers are racially profiling people to demand their papers, which all sides agree is illegal, and orders DHS to stop those unlawful practices.

Damn, they’re actually going to do it.

On his podcast yesterday, Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys, while criticizing some QAnon supporters, said that overall he "respect[s] the QAnon community" & "their beliefs," & that "to me, they're brothers in this battle that we're raging against real Satanism."

What I love about this blurb is that during this era, typesetting each word was labor intensive. The editor could have have saved lots of work by just printing "Solomon Southwick deserves to have his teeth pulled." But he was so angry that he spent the extra time and ink to be extra descriptive.

I sent this to Julian to show that he's part of a long tradition in American media of making creative, gruesome threats against politicians.

Capt. Morgan — We should not mention the name of this individual, had we not been informed yesterday, by a gentleman entitled to be the most entire confidence that Captain Waterman, of Duxbury, a gentleman of undoubted respectability and veracity, who commanded the brig Herald, in her last voyage from Boston to Myrna, is fully convinced, in his own mind, that he carried William Morgan as a passenger. The gentlemen who has given us Capt. Waterman's opinion on this subject in Mr. Job W. Tyler of this city who sailed with Capt. Waterman on his next voyage, as first officer of the Herald. Capt. Waterman, at that time often mentioned the subject to Mr. Tyler, and has since expressed his sincere conviction that Morgan was the passenger. — Boston Palladium. [If the above be true, SOLOMON SOUTHWICK deserves to have all his teeth pulled out with a common pair of pincers.]

This 1827 newspaper printed a (false) report that William Morgan (believed murdered by Freemasons) was seen on a boat to "Smyrna" (present-day Turkey.)

The editor added that if true, then Solomon Southwick (a big anti-Mason) "deserves to have all his teeth pulled out with a common pair of pincers."
